It’s with a heavy heart we update the closure of our shop operations from temporary to permanent. The aforementioned health problems of last year, while apparently dissipating, persist, and my capacity to sustain the degree of endurance necessary for normal 10- to 14-hour workdays has waned.
I always said this business was based on drive, not money; and business has been successful, proving an enterprise of this kind, structured and executed appropriately, can survive (and thrive) in the modern world. Had I the ability to continue, my backlog now would be measured in years, not months. Rest assured, New England needs a fully-dedicated typewriter repair shop. To that end, I support someone taking up the mantle in northern New England, as our location was praised for its easy accessibility as well as its quality of work.
While I don’t plan on giving up the hobby of typewriter repair, my days of professionally churning out machines at breakneck pace are over. Thank you, everyone, for your trust, support, and appreciation.
Anyone who purchased a gift card, please contact for a full refund. Dispersal of inventory will likely take place next year. Sale of shop furnishings (not tools) will be announced forthcoming.
All the best!
